More Utah Hijinks

A Republican precinct chair (this was my job for the Democrats in NC until recently) submitted a resolution to the Utah County (Provo and environs) convention blaming the illegal immigration problem on... Satan.

Finally. A proposal that gets at the heart of the matter.

Having been at a county party convention once, I can testify that some pretty weird stuff goes down there. When I went, we had 60-odd resolutions on the table and only one of them passed - a resolution approving the idea of legalized marijuana. Needless to say, that was rejected by the party higher-ups as being unrepresentative of the party line (even though I still like the idea). So this is absolutely not representative of the Utah County Republican Party, even if it passes. It's just... awesome.
